The Second Miler
Leading the Way by Following Christ
Open for Business
Revelation 22:17 - And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let
him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

God wants, and in fact, even longs for an ever deepening relationship with
anyone who will come to Him. He has made it so simple to get INTO the
kingdom of God, and rather more difficult to get out. He “so loved the
world” that He gave Jesus, His only begotten Son at that time, for the
salvation of the world He loved so much. His Words reveal His strong
desire for relationship and fellowship when He says, “Whosoever will, let
him take of the water of life freely.” Wow! Such as awesome gift, and it has
been totally paid for by the Lord so that it is completely free to you and me.
He emphasizes His great heart even more when He said that He would NOT
cast out anyone who comes to Him. Once again I declare His offering to us
to be absolutely phenomenal.
And of that salvation, the Lord Himself declares that whoever receives it,
that it shall be like a well that springs up into eternal life, that never runs
dry, and that those who drink from it shall never thirst again. He has made
us such an offer that only a fool would refuse it. Not only did He make us
this wonderful offer, but declared that it would be the inheritance He leaves
for those who would follow Him. Then He died, giving up His life for all who
would believe, suffered the total payment for our redemption, and then was
raised from the dead to be the Executor of His Own will. Now that is the
strongest possible determination to share His estate in full with all those
who would call upon His Name. Wow! What a wonderful gift!
And having been raised from the dead, He not only became the Executor of
His Own will, but He was made by conferral, by inheritance, and by
conquest, LORD of lords and KING of kings; the Eternal Potentate of all
ages. And HE is my Lord! Oh that all men could know this wonderful
relationship I have with the Creator of the universe! Savior, Healer,
Provider, Deliverer, Protector, Intercessor, Friend, King, and Lord. I am His
brother, and He calls me His. And He’s always open for business.

Quote for Today – “A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy
so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any
reason.” - Harold Geneen
